Red Haute Boutique (Granbury State Bank)

-A A +A
1905. 101 W. Pearl St.

The former bank is the lone example of a later generation of urban buildings, an eclectic blend of features. The two-story, red brick building has the typical bank corner entrance formed by two opposing stone arches supported on a square column at the corner and pilasters at the walls. Two second-floor windows at the corner are outlined by large keyhole-shaped frames of stone. The corner tower rises one stage above the parapets with a steep pyramidal roof, and instead of turrets at the tower’s corners, there are bulbous bartizans looking like stacked doughnuts or tires. Corbeled bricks form a checkerboard frieze at the parapet between short pilasters.
